Gotta Be That Way

          I think the way to stop it is to shrug it off. Or to take it with your tongue in your cheek. Sure, that's the system. At any rate, it's the system that works for you. It's the automatic control board that keeps you out there where nothing matters, where it's only you and the keyboard and nothing else. Because it's gotta be that way. You gotta stay clear of anything serious.

Away from the Maze

         It's like pulling away from the maze. While you're in the maze, you go through willy nilly turning where you think you have to turn ; banging into the dead ends. One thing after another. But you get some distance on it, and all those twists and turns, why, they're the shape of your life, it's hard to explain. But seeing it whole gives you some peace.

Always There


Loneliness is the coat you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
